Using the Java JDK with JCreator

JCreator LE is a freeware development tool for writing Java programs. This page describes how to install JCreator and get started using it. However, before you can install JCreator, you must install a Java JDK.

Step 1:
Download JCreator LE version 4.5. Use the link at the end of this paragraph to go to the JCreator download page. Be sure to download JCreator LE (not JCreator Pro).
JCreator Download page

Step 2:
The last step downloaded an installer program, jcrea450_setup.exe. Install JCreator by double clicking on the installer.

Step 3:
Test JCreator by downloading and then double clicking on the file Hello.java. The JCreator installer associates java files with JCreator, so double clicking on the file Hello.java should open the file in JCreator.

When you are editing files, remember to save your work frequently (at least every 15 minutes), otherwise it may be Abort, Retry, Ignore?
